Tia Mowry: Baby on the Way Is a Boy

Tia Mowry is taking bets on the sex of her baby — and it seems as though family and friends have guessed correctly.

“Everyone has been saying, ‘Boy! Boy! Boy!’ just by the way I’ve been carrying,” The Game star, 32, tells Access Hollywood. “No one has said a girl. So I can’t wait to find out who’s inside!”

Looks like they were right! Husband Cory Hardricttold Just Jared that the pair will welcome a son this July — and Mowry is ready to put her own twist on tradition.

After being raised with siblings whose names all began with the letter ‘T,’ the actress is searching elsewhere in the alphabet for inspiration. “Actually, we’re looking at ‘C’ [names] — for Cory,” Mowry explains.

Why not just choose a name that you love? …it doesnt have to start with a C for Cory or a T for Tia…people should start thinking outside of the box when it comes to naming their child and just choose a name they adore regardless with what letter it starts with

I agree Lyndsay. I think it’s better to give a child a name that is their OWN and is unique and individual.

Just choose a name you love no matter on what it begins with…..C may be the best choice for them and i wish them well. They’ll know if its right or not especially once they meet their son.

Who says that aren’t going to love the name AND that it will begin with C?

A lot of families I’ve known who do a letter theme do it because they feel it brings a sense of family connection. I know one family that the father wanted a junior and the mother compromised with matching initials. One family I know gave their first born the same first initial as the father. When they had another baby, they didn’t want her to feel left out so she got the same first initial. They ended up having four kids and gave them all the same first initial.

I like Carson, Cayden, Cade, Cameron, Cooper, and Carter for their last name.

Good luck to them, in whatever name they choose. For first time parents, it may take a little long in picking out a name for you baby.

awe so happy for them!! It seems like alot of celebs are having boys lately! I also did “c” names for my two kids, a boy named Caleb and a girl named Cheyenne. I love it and if its want they want then that is what matters!!! Best of luck to them!!!

There are so many cute C names for boys. Can’t wait to see the little one and hear the name. Congrats Tia and Cory!

Congrats to them! I was secretly hoping for twins 😦

For some, zeroing in on a particular letter of the alphabet actually eases the name search, and perhaps neither of them currently have a name that they both adore so much it MUST be the choice.

Relax, just because you do it one way does not mean that how another couple chooses to go about naming their baby should turn your crank the wrong way. It’s not your kid, it’s not your name.

I’m clair my sister is caroline, and my cousins are catherine and christine. It wasn’t planned, our parents must have just liked those names beginning with ‘c’

Luna … I think the last name is pretty well set. Did you mean first name??

Scooby

There’s nothing wrong with a little family tradition in names..s Maybe they only like names that start with C…

Mandy

I think that is preety cool!! We did that with our boys we have Jordin, Jayden, and Jayson. Their dad’s name also begins with a J. There is nothing wrong with it at all!

tlm – I took Luna’s comment to mean she liked how those names sounded with the last name.

I have 2 cousins that did themes with their kids names. I don’t think either one planned it, it just happened that way. One has boys Cale and Connor and a daughter named Kennedy (so not the same letter but the same sound) and the other has Garrett, Grant, Graham and Grayson. All 4 boys have a middle name from each parents families (mom’s mom, mom’s dad, dad’s mom and dad’s dad). All of their names suit them and I couldn’t imagine them with any other names! My sister just had a baby in December and named him Brent. For a girl they really liked Breckin. They apparently lean toward ‘b’ names.

I’m guessing they’ll go more traditional for the name.

Sorry for the rant! I like names. 🙂

Luna- I once knew a woman who, along with her husband (who, sadly, had passed away by the time I met the woman), did a similar thing. Their sons had the same initals as their father, and the girls the same initals as their mother. 🙂 Anyway, Tia sounds excited for motherhood!

Most of you need to mind your own business. She and her husband (and any one else having a baby) can use whatever method they want to name their babies. I don’t believe that they wanted your opinions.

tlm: I meant I liked how those first names went with their last name. But I totally see how you could interpret my comment the other way. Sorry 🙂

Wow, I still remember Tia and her sister Tamara, from Sister,Sister on TV! My children watched it when they were younger and I saw many episodes, too!

Tia is so grown up now. Best for her and her new baby boy!

i love ‘c’ names. i read somewhere- dont remember where now, that tia said that if she had a boy he was probably going to be named cory or cayden or along those lines! either way congrats to them! this baby will surely be a handsome guy!

Jill

Shirabee, she said C names for Cory….as in the later C to represent her husband Cory.

What about Cory Jr

I think it’s funny how some people on here are passing judgments and complaining about Tia wanting to give her baby a “normal” name that starts with a “C” while other celebrities has named their children Pilot Inspecktor, Cash, Apple, Coco, Hopper Jack and the list CAN go on and on! And NOBODY hasnt said not one negative comments about them…. so just leave her alone!!!!

Angela

Calvin Hardict is a cute name.

Becky
on February 10th, 2011

I remember them from Sister, Sister also..Think the “C” names would be great, the only thing that I don’t like is giving the baby the same name as the Dad..i.e. jr, the 2nd or whatever.. What about Craig?

Terri
on February 10th, 2011

I know some people like the matching names, but personally, for me it’s not happening. I just don’t care for it. To each her own.

If Tia, Tamera and Taj managed to own their names and have their own personalities shine out, I think that’s great that Tia has so much confidence in her son that he’ll shine out as well. So good for them!

She has also said that she wanted the middle name to start with a t. I like the name Cade Thomas.
